Suffer From Mood Swings, Difficulty In Anger Management. Need Help

My friend is normal at most times but at certain points he goes through really angry or sad phases usually based on his reactions or over reactions to normal things. E.g if he is losing an argument or isn't getting his way he will completely shut down and stop talking and hide. Another is how angrily he can react to the littlest things. How should i talk to him about it/ what do you think it might be that is causing this?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare Magic.

I have gone through your available history.

You should take your friend to psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and to find out the reason for anger. Sometimes depression or anxiety may present with anger.

He may get benefit by counselling and anger management.
Thanks
